151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchI489IASG
Blood-soaked glass sears three lifetimes;151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8tgMKDwxz
Moonstone seals a soul in a hundred years of frost.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbEeu8Lh4N
“Hah… hah…”
“Get away! All of you, get away!”
Staggering through the crowd, she sees the figure lying in a pool of blood.
“No…”
“What… have you done to her!”
Hands trembling, trying to piece together what was broken—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOK7coBG3O
fingers meet the glass phial within the soft fur—still intact.
This morning, its thin walls still held prismatic light.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1J1zIdjh7
Now they run with blood, staining the world red.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aiwRW2ONg
“Demoness!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVNUeWX3UU
Faces like black voids close in around her.
“Now that the Sinful Rabbit isn’t here to protect you, let’s see where you can run today!”
“Solas! Do it—!”
Blade drawing near, she lowers her eyes.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnlYbWWHhR
If there be another life, may we both be without heart…
Would it not have come to such an end…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkJ99cqc10
Whooo—
Wind rises in a sudden gust.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBSS9WGOzl
Red plum blossoms bloom at once—across tree trunks, grass, stone pedestals.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwJkYHtYJv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5BCC3RJ97
“None but demons are without heart.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdcnpozfGp
To summon her back—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6WFPMiQ98
bind to stone,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3pCm5fmkm
soul to weather a hundred years.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy57LEqDuUx
Are you still steadfast?”
“I do not regret.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtizZMljYAx
Wait for wind to rise,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xLFRTEN3K
wait for light to fall,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw2zqSb5nT
wait for you to wake again.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddaai0dwUB
That night, the moon was full, sharp as a blade.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXIwHP6x6w
No one remembered its former form.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrsYC8Kz5Y
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN0iA8Wni9
Distant mountains, silent.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKspgtiB2N
Wind over treetops.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7XWHr2sUS
…
Before the eyes, all is white.
Sitting up, trees stand frozen, only branch-tips breaking through.
Yet beneath the body—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYlLyyi049
snow without trace.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCZIUVEyhj
Am I… dead?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhVeEQWhVy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3apAO0H1q
Head lifted toward the moon, warmth seeps from behind.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdMBg2GQBa
After countless attempts, the only thing within reach, yet impossible to leave.
Once stepping too far, something seems to tug,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUBtWZw0mm
making even a single step impossible.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ605llgUAM
…Very well.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qI50YQuKE
Moon bright.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ebjXKVP3K
Stone warm.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytQyBt8Rpc
This night, no regret.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7lubfgNIW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac30PON5jd
“Why…”
“Because you should die.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDL7lo5rSW
…Who is speaking?
The thought has just formed.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9hN4JXIHA
A strange vision surfaces.
Applause and tea-smoke intertwine.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaY7zE6nyl
Storyteller speaking with measured ease inside the inn.
Unnoticed, it has already reached its end.
With a sweep of the sleeve and a smile:151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqugfKl381T
“If you wish to know what follows in Guiltbound, listen to the next telling.”
Awareness returns. Eyes open.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIENv18eaqT
Half-embedded in stone.
Only after a brief panic does understanding come.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKmvQ5C4gP
It is by borrowing stone as vessel that another’s form and thoughts are glimpsed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQSlG0jcM
Heh.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYTqSw75bl
A little deeper, then.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXqLnGs9Nn
See what plays out in the world.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXNDycbOjE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbHEo8O61e
Why can only you be touched?151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IhIBBYUYQ
And why do you give off warmth?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZfHmpbWT5
How many days since waking, unknown.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4oiDi6fQl
Little Ghost still gazes at the stone, murmuring those unanswered questions.
Thoughts not yet settled, the sea of consciousness jolts, as if falling into a bottomless void.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDd2TphrK
“It has been a long time.”
“Do you think me blind of eye and heart?”
“When blossoms bloomed that year, I smiled—more foolish than anyone.”
“…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MpTTz4neu
“Ngh…”
What… is this…
It hurts—stop!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pHdC7aHP6
—The chaotic tide subsides; only then, insect-song.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyHukQLtRQ
“Hah…”
…The rest, another time.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9g1qmLnU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWl7x9aJAh
Sun not yet set, yet the moon already appears.
Tonight… probably full.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjEpvmBMOE
Had meant to look more closely, only to find the stone growing hotter.
…It’s not going to explode… is it?
In that panic, the stone suddenly shines—blinding.
Not good!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrD03awN3r
Breaking into a run, stopping only after distance is put between.
“Hah…”
“That was close… huh? I can speak?”
Looking down, ten fingers distinct, no longer pudgy.
Looks like human form has returned; solid things can be touched again.
“Great! Finally I can go eat all that good food!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlb8bJSReF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoiLeRYEso
…
Figure gradually solidifies, yet shock has not yet settled.
Once vigilance loosens, time slips away.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiUqqBrhkE
When awareness returns, the self has already begun to fade.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUBdk3TGbq
It was… only three days…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugH4G66QTS
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyfq1HOnIa
Spring blossoms, summer cicadas, autumn leaves, winter snow.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHOjgllLF
Year after year.
Dynasties rise and fall, yet this place never moves with them—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmtTSr4L1U
like the memory of the first day of each month.
She always forgets that day.
Rust-like stains sometimes surface upon the stone.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdD2RMJJYp
They are never examined closely.
Brief freedom beneath the full moon no longer feels precious—
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEq6wYMVtk
The fuller the moon,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf2vvzIYIb
the deeper the solitude.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcP4UyQXV1
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDc874VzII
“Shrew!”
The sudden roar shatters the rare stillness.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwL6u4sh7n
Hm?
I didn’t use possession.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OE6bhNyHF
Brows drawn tight, the man stands in the courtyard corridor.
He smashes the glass pendant at his waist.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSi7KTKc5E
Shards scatter, stained by the setting sun.
Heart pounds heavy, yet the body grows cold—whose reaction is this?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDmHfH9y6l
No… I don’t want to see anymore…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzFdY3rdn
Splintered fire slips through the seams of grey brick.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTF7nODT9M
Beads of blood at the fingertips devour the fading sky.
She hears the accusation pierce her mind:
“—What have you done!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUlJQpQUPS
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjqGF3SYGY
Silent brilliance flares.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH4QvbMNQ4
Mountain shadows bow as one.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVU5NHaoIC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie4DiIIvNP
“Affection breeds wounds; remembrance forges hatred.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig3Lqp1SWY
You once said you wanted no part of it—what of now?”
“Are you still steadfast?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcvePT54nh
Fingers brush lightly over the stone, gaze lifting toward the night sky.
At the corner of the lips, slowly forms the curve the other loved most.
Then, stepping into the moonlight.
Form fades like firefly light.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeyYP1ClEp
“—I do not regret.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY1HslhIOM
Evening wind passes through the mountain forest.151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPG4Ajpni7
Only a faint glimmer remains upon the stone.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjicxiqWe6m
Legend says this mountain has shown light three times:151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtmmOSzMwB
first as blood,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSlrUhKLk
second as dream,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBXbsHKKki
third as the night’s lingering thought.
Thus it was named—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ4kHVIdSo
the Land Without Heart.
